You can't really make out a whole lot in this video of a fight between Auburn and Alabama fans, save for the typical shirtlessness and hollerin', but if you pay real close attention you can see, as the YouTube description states, a dude popping out of the car at the 30-second mark and brandishing what appears to be… »12/02/14 2:24pm 12/02/14 2:24pm

Over on Slate, Advanced NFL Stats' Brian Burke tries his hand at answering a classic armchair-QB question from Monday's national-title game: Should Tre Mason have taken a knee before that last Auburn touchdown? »1/08/14 6:23pm 1/08/14 6:23pm

The offenses are bursting at the seams! A.J. McCarron just threaded the needle! He's got the Heisman sewn up! I already used that one, crap! What's next, the Ironing Bowl? »11/30/13 6:57pm 11/30/13 6:57pm

Despite what looked like a fairly painful shoulder injury, Johnny Manziel did return to the game and was effective almost immediately. He came back in and lead a 12-play 75 yard scoring drive, capped off by a one-yard rushing touchdown.

Your national title game will be SEC semifinal champion Alabama against Notre Dame, which in a just alternate universe just got piss-pounded by Ohio State in the Big Ten title game and ceded its title game slot to Florida. In this universe, though, Notre Dame spent the afternoon licking its chops as Alabama and… »12/01/12 8:39pm 12/01/12 8:39pm

As subplots go, the Alabama-Texas A&M game had an unexpected one from the end of the first quarter through the tense final minute: an errant extra point.

For nearly two decades, Sports Illustrated has stirred the tea leaves to discern a weekly Sign of the Apocalypse. Deadspin salutes the magazine's ongoing effort to cover the end of times but declines to cede the scoop on the biggest event in world history.»10/13/12 3:39pm 10/13/12 3:39pm

Arkansas beat Auburn today, which in itself wouldn't be so strange except that as recently as this morning it was reasonable to ask whether Arkansas would ever win another game, ever, ever. The Hogs were a preseason top-10 team that lost f̶i̶v̶e̶ four games—in September. If someone was to cushion the fall, Tulsa… »10/06/12 7:48pm 10/06/12 7:48pm

The first game in Auburn's Post-Cam Newton Era (also known as the Barrett Trotter Era, according to the game announcers) did not go as expected—unless you expected Auburn to require a last-minute comeback to avoid a 10-point loss to unranked Utah State. Here's the onside kick and the ensuing drive that led to the… »9/03/11 4:30pm 9/03/11 4:30pm

ESPN3 composed its love letter to Cam Newton today, with more than four hours of filming him walking around the field at Auburn's official pro day. Viewers were treated to Cam posing in backpack, Cam joking with teammates, Cam bending over to tie his shoes, Cam stretching his legs, and at the very end of it all, Cam… »3/08/11 8:00pm 3/08/11 8:00pm
